Alright, I'm trying to figure out the best way to add my UV sterilizer to my MAG 350 Pro Canister. I don't have room on the back of the tank to hang the unit, so it will have to be in the stand.
If my assumptions are correct, I will want it to be plumbed in after the T section that splits off the bio wheels correct?
It would be so much easier if i were to do it straight out of the canister, but it will kill off the BB that would then reside in the Bio wheel, correct? Since they are seasoned bio wheels, would this even matter because the BB is already established?
Thanks for the help!
 
You would be fine just putting the UV on the return line of the canister filter. It will not kill the bacteria on the bio wheel.
 
That's going to make this process a ton easier!
 
yeah, it only kills bacteria inside the uv and the water passing through it.
